About this house rental

Emerald House

Nestled between the protected Tijuca Forest and the Atlantic Ocean, Emerald House is an extraordinary private residence offering approximately 600 m² of architect-designed living space in one of Rio de Janeiro’s most exclusive and peaceful locations.

Conceived as a dialogue between architecture, art and nature, the house offers complete privacy while remaining just five minutes from Barra da Tijuca Beach.

The residence features three spacious suites, seven bathrooms, two elegant living rooms, a fully equipped open-plan designer kitchen, laundry room, and a spectacular 40 m² glass-walled studio, ideal for artists, architects, writers, remote work, yoga or wellness practices.

Two enormous panoramic terraces invite guests to enjoy breakfast among tropical birds, afternoon relaxation overlooking the rainforest, or unforgettable evenings beneath the stars.

Despite being immersed in the Atlantic Forest, the house enjoys abundant natural light, constant mountain breezes and an atmosphere of remarkable silence, making it feel worlds away from the city while remaining only minutes from the beach.

Every interior has been carefully curated by Swiss-Carioca artist and designer Llan Valls, combining exceptional Brazilian art, museum-quality Oriental rugs, designer furniture and carefully selected antiques. The result is a home with genuine personality rather than standard luxury décor.

One of Emerald House’s most remarkable features is its private spa, supplied with crystal-clear mountain spring water flowing directly from the protected Tijuca Forest. Naturally renewed and completely free of chlorine and chemical treatment, it provides a unique bathing experience in complete harmony with nature.

Located within a fully secured residential enclave with 24-hour security, the house offers exceptional peace and safety while remaining close to beaches, restaurants, shopping centres and Rio’s most iconic natural attractions. The famous Pedra da Gávea hiking trail begins only a short walk from the property.

Emerald House is ideal for families, executives, artists, architects, wellness retreats, creative residencies or travellers seeking an authentic and sophisticated experience immersed in nature.

This is not simply a luxury home. It is a rare architectural retreat where contemporary design, Brazilian culture, Swiss comfort and the world’s largest urban rainforest come together to create an unforgettable place to live, work and reconnect.
